What Do We Know About The Potential New Minecraft Mobs?
Minecraft have been releasing short videos and information about the three upcoming mobs. Here's what we know about each one.
The Glare
The Glare serves as a warning system for anyone who is slack with their torch placement. It will glide into dark areas and begin to get grumpy if they are dark enough for mobs to spawn.
If you want a cute reminder that you forgot to places torches, again then vote Glare
The Allay
The Allay is a music fan that is attracted to noteblocks. If you place down the musical blocks then the Allay will come over and have a dance. It will also collect items that match anything you give to it, allowing you to use it for retrieving anything you can't carry.
If you'd love a music fan who'll pick up your collectibles and have a bit of a boogie then vote Allay.
The Copper Golem
The Copper Golem can be built by players and, like copper itself, will oxidize over time. It appears to be a passive mob, at least toward its creator, and loves to press copper buttons. The buttons would also be added to the game and this unpredictable mob has a lot of potential uses.
If you want a copper friend who likes press buttons and wander around randomly then vote Copper Golem.
How Do I Vote For The New Minecraft Mob?
Voting for the mob contest will be over on the Official Minecraft Twitter. It will open after Minecraft Live 2021 begins and the social media site will run polls you can click on to vote.
Updates on the voting and the results will be spread throughout Minecraft Live 2021 so don't forget to keep watching for all the latest news, as well as updates on the potential new mobs.
